Who Should Attend
This course will be of particular value to individuals responsible for:- System Quality Control
- System Management and Development
- Computer System Validation
Description
Recent problems associated with computer inaccuracies have led the FDA to pressure the pharmaceutical and blood processing industries into adoption of rigid standards of system validation and testing. The application of a testing methodology is of particular importance in design, operation and quality control of manufacturing systems, where computers are integrally used in product control and inventory tracking.
This course is designed to provide the necessary skills for mastering the principles and techniques of developing and implementing a system validation and testing plan for manufacturing-related computer systems. The course uses a combination of lecture/discussions, case studies, “role-play actors,” and multimedia presentations to provide a living case of a computerized pharmaceutical system in need of a validation plan for cGMP information systems. The program will take participants step-by-step through the process of developing and implementing that plan, and will conclude with a session adapting the plan to each participant’s unique environment and products.
Features of the Course Include:- Specification of a methodology for meeting FDA and PMA guidelines for manufacturing systems involving computers
- Practical experience in applying that methodology to actual computerized manufacturing systems
- New update on 21 CFR Part 11
